much of the russia starting from yesterday people began returning to the town fires have been put up to the local snow helping soldiers to clean up according to reports the number of casualties and those who died because of injuries has reached nine hundred but we have to verify this information i cannot guarantee its reliability but it's certainly more than two hundred people many died in hospital the residents of about done are no longer in a state of panic but some are still looking for their family members and i can't say that the situation is common in some remote regions people aren't aware of what's happened as they have no internet access some are perhaps unhappy as they would like the president to announce a state of mourning or express his condolences it seems that their thirty's aren't willing to admit that there are casualties there's no official theory as to the causes of the explosion initially there was an opinion that the fire happened because of very hot weather frankly speaking it's hard for me to tell therefore i won't be drawing any conclusions as witnesses many servicemen who were guarding

those warehouse last night and the fire. you are with are team coming up later this hour guilty until proven innocent. does on the front page coverage of u.s. criminal cases monita. waters of the justice system. excuse me we report on concerns that many trials are being prejudice plus. from passion to profession to find out how young indian entrepreneurs are turning their bright ideas into cash. the owner of the new news of the world rupert murdoch is due to fly in to london to confront the crisis at his troubled british tabloid police are now investigating the deletion of millions of e-mails that were potentially valuable evidence in the phone hacking scandal the paper is accused of snooping on the phone messages of politicians celebrities and victims of crime a number of arrests were made on friday to proving that of and he calls them a former editor of the paper who has also served as the prime minister's media

chief tabloids a former royal correspondent was also arrested both men were later released on bail the prime minister has announced to independent public inquiries as a result of the scandal meanwhile the news of the world staff are preparing for its final edition this sunday following the announcement it's to close john gaunt who used to work for one of murdoch's newspapers says media and political circles in the u.k. are too close. they've closed down the news the world so up to five hundred people have lost their jobs and most of these people were not only is the world when these allegations of hacking happened because what's going to happen now is the free press in the united kingdom which is something we really pride ourselves on there's a real danger now we're going to get overregulation by the government as a direct result of this of part of its behavior by some journalists on the news of the world and also is a major problem because i think that successive governments in britain but the

labor government are in control before and now david cameron the conservatives have been too damn close to rupert murdoch and other newspaper proprietors. but all of that is too cozy and too comfortable if you don't have a real democracy you have to have a separation between the press surely and indeed the political establishment and the government of the day you also need to have separation between the judiciary and those two areas in britain and the united kingdom they've become too close over the last thirteen or fourteen years and i believe that last month no ordinary people in britain their views have nor really been represented by their in the newspapers or in the political arena that's bad for democracy so david cameron should start investigating himself as far as i'm concerned six trimly embarrassing for him because the former editor of the news of the world andy colson of course became his press secretary i warned would your employer

it that day so everyone still thinks you're a child molester not guilty take the not guilty verdict in the casey anthony murder case involving her two year old daughter the court of public opinion remains split from the court of justice all thanks to nonstop media coverage of the case for the past three years she. is crazy and i think it's great maybe they did it with from the media since she was going to go. in the case of former. our i.m.f. head dominique strauss kahn the media satisfied their luck mistakes with extreme passion only for the case to crumble i think there should be all the media outlets are required to play your exoneration up as big in this long as your accusation this is rarely the case as dubious practices in the criminal justice system spread so does the finger pointing and questioning the future of human rights in the us where as we go in as americans i'm fifty one years old and i'm like. this is

welcome to the quarter gun region located at the very tip of southern siberia it's home to mountains and untouched landscapes but the natural beauty of coulda gone is that not appealing to many of its residents entire villages are becoming ghost towns as young people move to the cities. to find one place where the residents have a good reason to stay she's taking us there next. here we are in the village of chast . grande region and for the past santa fifteen years its population has been steadily increasing here is the reason why. it's monday morning and alexander a former prison guard is it work testing the incoming employees for alcohol. if they're over the limit there is a choice to be cited for a no show and lose thirty percent of them on celery or jock three kilometers and be

docked ten percent of that month's wage. we do the testing every morning regardless of gender or position within the company people know they could be caught but they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to drink during the working week. inforced alcohol abstinence is the idea of this man alexander able to cough is the director of the still such plan and likes to extend his influence as far as possible and one of big ideas very epitome of micromanagement for the past fifteen years he's been preaching to his employees how to make good sausages and how to live a good life. is a must it's the quality of the product. first place and it's the quality that determines whether you'll keep it after firing dozens of workers for showing up drunk at work xander started lateran his employees on the harms of all the hall three times a day during the breaks you. drank for the first

time should be beaten with a stick those court for the second time should be beaten and probably. should be hanged as a former boxer he's not shy about exercising his rule with an r. in face has built his version of the iron curtain around his plan with dozens of video cameras around the facility employees have no chance to circumvent the law of big brother on the off side i'm no longer the issue. there is a very rigid people find it hard to comply but those who don't play by alexander's rules don't work here. alexander's drive to set the rules of the game doesn't and within his plan the only corporate tax payer in the village of four thousand people is thinking on a very wide notion of social responsibility using the plants profits he paved only local roads renovated the school and built the church and while he agrees that

modesty is a virtue of his fondness of giving guidance and advice is evident wherever he goes in you are it doesn't matter that you come from a village matters most is to get a good education thank god we've got good teachers and behave well at school is that clear. but this approach has divided villagers the majority believe alexander is a blessing or a minority primarily who he's fired and not as impressed. as the old saying goes one man's meat is another man's poison not everybody in this village appreciates the xander philosophy and he's tenacity in spreading it around some people call him a control freak others to resort to more agricultural language his opponents also include some local officials who believe that alexander has too much power that infringes on their own authority bill xander accuses them of not doing enough for the people when i ask him whether he'd like to run for office he's a response was

a resounding no. i think the purpose of power is to create to make life around people better and in this regard i have all the power. i think every successful activity requires discipline strict discipline and it starts with me instead of waiting for somebody to come and do something i do it myself i may offend other people and sooner or later they'll understand that i was doing it for the wrong. so many historians make the case that russians prefer authoritarian leaders and that tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation need street discipline and total control who do bad but in the xander space it seems to have proved efficient on a boycott r.t.e. the village of. oregon region water sports enthusiasts are flocking to the outskirts of moscow to bag a bargain or two this weekend yachts and speed boats are changing hands at the
